Calculate Your VOC Emissions
As summer continues to heat up, keep in mind that regulations remain in effect to reduce the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can be emitted into the atmosphere by pesticides and other harmful chemicals and contribute to the amount of ozone or smog in the environment.
Calculators from the Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) that determine the VOC emissions from fumigant and non-fumigant pesticides before application are available to help growers, pest control advisers, and pesticide applicators comply with the regulations. The UC Statewide Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Program provides a link to these calculators from each of the treatment tables in the UC Pest Management Guidelines. Click on the Air Quality – Calculate emissions button.
Take steps to reduce VOCs. Avoid emulsifiable concentrate (EC) formulations as they release the highest VOC emissions. Pesticide control advisers and growers can also reduce VOC emissions by employing IPM practices such as using resistant varieties, traps, exclusion, and biological control. When using pesticides, spot-treat and seek low-emission materials. Solid formulations, such as granules or powders, are best.
Check the fact sheet on the DPR web site for the most up-to-date-information on VOC restrictions and regulations.

Underwood and Krause appointed to lead IT and Web Development
I am pleased to announce that David Underwood has been appointed manager of Information Technology Infrastructure and David Krause has been appointed as manager of Web Development and Applications Programming, effective August 1, 2014. Both positions are based in Davis.
Underwood, who has served ANR since 1991, will be responsible for the Division's information processing, operating hardware and software, network communication and data network infrastructures. He and his team will also be responsible for assisting ANR employees with computer services and the help desk function. His customer service focus stands out in his career with the University.
Krause will be responsible for managing the Division's programming and applications development efforts. In 2006, Krause joined ANR's programming team and was promoted in 2010 to supervise the Web Team, which created Collaborative Tools, Master Gardener VMS, Grant Tracking System, Site Builder 2 & 3, Cal Ag online and other Web tools. I look forward to seeing his team improve and expand their support to the Division's Web-centric communications and program delivery mission.
Please join me in wishing Dave Underwood and Dave Krause well in their new positions.
Best regards,
Tu Tran
Associate Vice President, Business Operations
